Manes?

I'm looking for any ideas/tips on how to thin Charity's mane and make it lay flat insetd of an upward angle. We cut it about 3 weeks ago and it's grow slightly. Roughly, it is 4" at most.

Also, I mainly use her for my braiding practice, haha. She's a sweety at being still now.

Pull it! Comb it down. Grab a thin lock of the longest hair, comb the remaining hair upwards and out of the way, then pull the long hair out. Cutting manes make it look like a thick curtain, or it makes it stand up!

Ugh!!i made the mistake of cutting stars mane.......my husband could of killed me it looks to bad.....normally we pull our horses mane but this time I was in a rush......never again....alway pull the mane, cutting looks so unnatural

Wrap some duct tape or vet wrap around your pulling fingers and pull pull pull!!!!!

Pulling it would probably help. :)

Haha, I don't know how to pull her mane! Haha

I've never pulled a mane either but I will keep in mind if I ever want my horses to have a short mane I will pull.

Here are some sites on mane pulling:
